Run the Blackjack 5K Saturday

Everyone has a chance to win at the Blackjack 5K race Saturday, regardless of how fast you can run. Foot Rx Running hosts the 3.1-mile race starting at 9 a.m. at Fletcher Community Park.

Cost is $10 per person, and registration is race day only, starting at 8 a.m. Saturday at the end of the parking area.

Participants receive a playing card at registration, and a card at midway. They can take one more card at the finish if they choose. The object is to hit 21. Number cards are worth their face value. Jacks, queens and kings are worth 10, and aces can be used as 1 or 11.

The number of entries determines the jackpot, which will be given away in Foot Rx gift certificates. You can race for speed, but it doesn't matter.
